A truly fantastic place. The range of food you can get, from fresh fish, to fudge, from quince pate to lettuce still with their roots... it makes it unique. Traders are all exceptionally friendly and willing to advise and make suggestions. The quality is always superb, and while one can spend a fortune, the costs are all reasonable and all in all, good value for money! There's also a fab little cafe there.]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:37:13 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/1s5my71374192334 PlasticMoose 51.506044638137 -0.090122222900391 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/169cc7

Easy to find get off at London Bridge and go down steps by Southwalk Cathedral and its amazing find. Only small but packed to brim with different fresh produce, from variety of countries including home grown.

We got there Saturday afternoon and packed. Lots of stalls offering hot foods and we decided to have our lunch there eating out side the cathedral. Great food and atmosphere.

The market is a rainbow of smells, sights and colors. We saw rabbit, deer, sushi, sea food...everything! So colorful!

But the BEST part -the Market Porter Pub which is close to the market (or part of it?). Fri at noon, hundreds of people in business attire were standing in front of the pub (not inside) with pints of beer in hand. This was lunch hour at Borough Market. Who wouldn't fall in love with the place...

The variety of produce at Borough Market will astound you - you can get everything from ostridge steaks (and eggs) to pots of cassoulet brought over from France. You'll find big bunches of herbs that put the little packets in supermarkets to shame, quality fish and meat, oils, cheeses and truffles. The downside is that the market does get busy and can be pricey, but nethertheless it's well worth a visit.]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:54:20 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/1j08191431967835 JuliaParsons 51.506044638137 -0.090122222900391 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/1j76w7

I love this place, I'd never really been until I started seeing my current girlfriend who lives only a few minutes away (lucky me).

There are loads of stalls filled with friendly vendors who are quite happy to let you sample everything. Its quite nice to get there early on Saturday morning (it does get quite busy), stroll about and nibbling on all the lovely food on offer before deciding on your main course.

It is however quite expensive, but I think its well worth it as much of the food is probably not found many other places. Where else in London can you get a nice plate of raclette to munch on while you walk about? Or a nice grilled chorizo sandwich? Or some fantastic bread (though be warned, once used to the bread it will make any loaf from a supermarket taste of nothing).

I'm usually there once a week and I still love it, and its a great place to take family and friends. Only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday with the most stalls available on Sat.

One of my favorite places in London!

This historic market dates back to 43AD, though has only been trading on its current site for around 250 years. The market is filled with stalls selling a huge range of products - a mix of gourmet items and 'ordinary' items. There are a few different sections to the market - Crown Square, the Green Market, the Jubilee Market, and the shops and restaurants which surround the market.

The market is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. It is a very popular place and is always very crowded, especially on a Saturday. Friday lunch times are also very hectic, with all of the nearby office workers descending on the market to buy their lunch. If you are in the area on a Friday, queue up with the suits and buy your lunch - it may take a while, but it is worth the wait.

Things you can buy/see at the market include:
-the freshest fruit & vegetables
-full range of meat and poultry, including whole (headless) deer caught that morning
-bread, pastries and cakes
-fresh pasta
-cheese, cheese, cheese
-hot meat sandwiches, filled baguettes, excellent coffee
-excellent bacon and other deli products

We have made it our mission to taste-test all of the different chocolate brownies for sale at the market - after extensive research I can report that the best ones actually come from a small shop on Stoney Street (which borders the market), called Konditor & Cook.

Have also had some excellent fresh pasta from the markets, tasty bread and an amazing Treacle Pudding.

Opening hours
Thursdays: 11am to 5pm
Fridays: 12pm to 6pm
Saturdays 9am to 4pm]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2008 16:35:03 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/1f46p8376331496 sue food market expensive 51.506044638137 -0.090122222900391 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1t22p8i/borough-market/1r2508
